The elven thieves hide in an alley in the lower town, and the exit of the alley is the only way to get from the upper town to the seaside pier.

It's not that there's only one street from Uptown to Castletown Quay, it's a lot closer.

His alley is a sandwich between two rows of small buildings, this alley is not wide, and there are some useless construction waste piled up in it, wood, bricks and tiles, and some discarded wooden furniture, etc., which makes the already small space even more crowded.

The clouds in the sky turned into fish scales, and gusts of wind blew, and the air was mixed with a salty, wet and icy sea breeze.

He pulled on half of his cloak, the weather was not very good, and it looked like it was going to rain.

It's been raining lately.

In Castletown, this half-cut cape is popular in Downtown, mainly because it is convenient.

When the elves who catch the sea encounter a rainy day, they will bring this kind of half-cut...... A cloak that can't even hold your buttocks.

Light......

It also doesn't interfere with walking or doing some outdoor work, such as catching the sea or carrying on the dock.

The only downside is that the pants will get wet.

The elven thief took the dagger at his waist into his arms.

The rain on the seashore is very corrosive to this kind of iron tool, and if you don't maintain it with grease as soon as possible after the rain, the dagger will soon rust.

This dagger is one of the most important items of the Elven Thief.

He chose this alley to ambush the young human, mainly because there was a way out by the alley, even if his plan failed, he could get into the alley and escape.

Speaking of his plans, the elven thieves intended it this way.

When the human boy ran down the long street, the elven thief was ready to rush out of the alley without him noticing, snatch the books from his hand, and rush into the opposite alley.

If that human kid still has a little bit of blood, he'll catch up.

The elven thieves planned to lead him into the opposite alley, which was a back street, and it was still a dead and alive alley, this alley was full of the back doors of some shops, and some household garbage was piled up at ordinary times, even if there were no people during the day, it was an excellent place to do it.

If you can avoid the human kid's sight for a few seconds, you can hide yourself again.

When the human boy was in, he went around behind the boy and drew his dagger and slit his throat.

Then he can run to the countryside overnight to avoid the limelight and kill this witness, so that no one knows who stole the Holy Grail.

While I was waiting for the human boy, it started to rain in the sky.

The elven thief was a little worried that the human boy would take shelter from the rain, and he put the hood of his cloak over his greasy head.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the elven thieves stood in the rain shivering with cold.

Thinking that the boy would not come, he was about to find a place to shelter from the rain, so he came back at another time......

And he saw the boy running out of the rain.

The elven thief suddenly became nervous, and despite the rain, he didn't know whether it was rain or sweat in his palms.

Just as he was about to rush out, another carriage suddenly rushed out of the rain, which made the elven thief hesitate, and then he found that the carriage was parked on the side of the street across the alley, completely blocking his route to attack the human boy.

The elven thief wiped the rain from his face, and as soon as he cursed, he saw several young Silver Moon Elves jumping out of the carriage.

He was startled and subconsciously wanted to run, but found that none of the elves had glanced at him.

The elven thief immediately retreated into the alley.

He secretly picked up the cracks in the bricks, and saw the silver moon elves chasing after the human kid, and the human kid stopped in an instant, and then suddenly turned in a direction and burrowed into the alley of dead and alive in advance.

The elven thief stood stupidly in the rain, realizing that his plan had failed again.

……

It's still raining......

Roy was running the street, and there was no one in the alley, and seeing that the alley was full of debris, Roy got into it.

The cloaked young elf followed Roy's figure into the alley.

Because of the rain, the smell of corruption in the alley was diluted a lot.

Steve lifted the rain hood from his head, which widened his vision and gave him a clearer view of the terrible surroundings.

"You can't run away......"

He said viciously.

There is a lot of garbage in the alley, and there are some back doors of shops everywhere, and next to the back door are some garbage piled up, which carries a rotten smell, and some garbage heaps and even sewage are flowing sideways.

Such a terrible environment is like the end of hell for a few young elves who are usually pampered......

Because of the rain, there was a layer of water on the ground, and some rotten fruit peels were floating on the water, making the street even more dirty.

Steve stepped forward, and the heel of his finely made lambskin boot stepped on a pit, and the terrible touch made Steve feel sick to his stomach.

The young elves chased down the alley a few dozen meters away, and were forced to stop by the terrible conditions here.

Seeing that his friends were reluctant to go inside, Steve raised his hand in anger and stopped the chase.

……

Roy ran to the end of the alley, only to find that the alley was actually alive and dead.

But he couldn't go back the way he came, and although he couldn't see the shadows of those elves behind him, God knows where they were hiding.

At this time, he didn't know where to go.

When he was hesitating in place, he suddenly saw a door not far away being pushed open.

A shopkeeper walked out of it with a box of household garbage.

Roy didn't care what the store was, he took a few steps forward and went headlong into the store.

Wet and soaked, he rushed down the narrow passage, so frightened that the shopkeeper overturned the garbage bin in his hand, and almost fell to the ground.

Roy rushed into the shop, only to find out that it was a tea restaurant.

There are no restaurants in the elf city because they just eat some fruit and fish.

For elves, the food is monotonous and light.

So in Castletown, this style of tea restaurant is popular, and the tea and fruit set menu in the restaurant has become a favorite of young elves.

However, because of the rain, there are almost no people in this tea restaurant, but there are a few elves under the eaves at the door to shelter from the rain.

It doesn't look like they're going to walk in for tea.

Roy rushed in from behind......

The guys in the store thought they had met a thief, and several waiters in the store first heard a shout, and then saw someone running in wet.

"Hey! How did you get in and what do you want to do? ”

An elf waitress asked Roy.

"Is it a thief, stop him, don't let him run......"

The other waiters in the store immediately responded.

Roy was willing to let them stop, and he didn't steal anything, he had two books wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, and he shouted, "Borrowed, borrowed...... I'm not a thief, I'm a student at the Elven Academy, but I just forked the road and borrowed and borrowed......"

Roy shouted like this, and the waiters in the store hesitated.

Originally, I didn't see him take anything, and he was wet and embarrassed, so no one was willing to embarrass him anymore.

Running all the way to the front door, Roy didn't hesitate to push open the front door of the store and rush into the rain again.

This is no longer the street just now, and naturally there is no carriage parked in the rain.

He didn't stop until he reached the corner of the street.

Turning around and glancing in the direction of the streets, he was relieved to see that the group of young elves had not caught up.

He walked briskly out of the street.

I was still complaining in my heart: I really can't just agree to talk to others, even in the academy, this kind of accosting won't do anything good.

He didn't know that he had escaped a robbery planned by an elven thief......

Roy, who was running in the rain, suddenly stopped, some rain entered his eyes, a little astringent, he wiped a handful of the rain on his face, and the water on his hair continued to drip down.

Roy suddenly thought:

How did I forget that the tavern had always been a thief's house, and the waitress Lucy had not even listened to her own detailed description, but said that she remembered the thief at all...... Definitely problematic. ’

I don't think there's any news from the tavern.

In fact, you can also ask other taverns, but to inquire about the news in the tavern, you usually need to pay for it, and at worst, you have to ask someone for a drink......

Roy thought that the temple would pay him a salary of four hundred kollers a week, and he would be able to take out a few kollers and ask for some news.

However, since you have to go to another tavern to inquire about the thief, it is better to ask Sabrina to help draw a portrait, so that it is easier to inquire.

Anyway, at night she'd paint portraits of the fleeing crew.

Yes, that's it!

Unexpectedly, the troubles that had plagued him for two days were solved when he was running in the rain.

It seems that exercise can make the brain run fast is still very well-founded......

Thinking of this, Roy continued to run in the rain.

In the distance, the faint shadow of the Temple of Liberty can already be seen in the rain.

The contours of the port terminal are also gradually emerging.

It's just that the sea and the clouds in the sky in the distance are still gray, and the border line is not visible.

Not far away, there are some ships waiting to dock.
